(Reuters) Phillips 66 delayed a planned maintenance on a sulfur recovery unit (SRU) that was scheduled for Friday at its 146 Mbpd Borger, Texas, refinery, a filing with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality said.
"Phillips 66 will submit a new planned maintenance emission event in conjunction for the Sneed Booster SRU shutdown and startup," the filing said.
A sulfur recovery unit extracts sulfur from hydrogen sulfide that has been removed from motor fuel feedstocks in compliance with US environmental rules. An SRU outage can force a cut in production to prevent excess amounts of hydrogen sulfide in motor fuels.
